A humble blue sticker has resulted in a 43 per cent decline in motorhome and caravan insurance claims over the past two years, it has been claimed. Caravan Guard launched the sticker scheme in 2009, which encourages motorhome owners to record the dimensions of their vehicle in a prominent place, such as on the sun visor, so they can decide whether or not to choose roads with low bridges.
The stickers are being relaunched for 2011 as the insurance company believes they are responsible for the massive drop-off in claims.
Sally Wilby, director at Caravan Guard, said: “Accidents are still happening and we’d like to help all motorhome owners avoid such damage.”
Furthermore, the stickers come with the measurements in both metric and imperial forms, so motorists won’t be caught out when travelling through Europe.
Caravan owners looking to obtain one of these useful dimension reminders can fill in their vehicle’s details on the Caravan Guard website and they will be sent a completed sticker in the post free of charge.
